Forget Manolo Blahnik and Christian Louboutins. There’s just something about a beautiful laptop that heats up our CPUs. What makes a notebook truly sexy? It could be stunning color options, remarkably sleek lines, premium materials, unique textures, customizable lighting or all of the above. From the original iBook (remember that?) to the most striking systems Dell, HP and Lenovo have debuted, here are our picks for 20 of the sexist notebooks of all time. These laptops look so good, we had to do a double take…twice. Did we get it right or did we forget your favorite stunner? Let us know in the comments.

Acer Aspire S7 (2013)

If laptops were models, the Acer Aspire S7 would rule the runway. The notebook's waifish profile is a mere 0.51 inches thick, making it one of the thinnest ultraportables on the market. But don’t confuse slim with frail, as the Aspire S7's lid is made of scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass 2.

The remainder of the chassis is pristine aluminum. Just like any supermodel, the S7 is also surprisingly flexible. The 1080p touch screen can fold back 180 degrees so two people can gaze upon its beauty.

I’ve always found it rather strange to call any piece of technology ‘sexy’ however it’s amazing how many people factor in the looks of a product such as a laptop or a phone in when choosing one to buy. As an owner of many laptops I definitely have some I’d rather show off than others simply because people can’t see how powerful some of them are from a distance, people can just see what they look like.
